Today I was reminded to set the standard in what I do. Not just for others, but for myself. To be a captain in the lives of offenders committed to your custody, you must first be a captain of your own life.
Before you lead others, you must first lead yourself. Before you lead yourself, you must first follow faithful men and women and above all, 'follow the example of Christ' (1 Corinthians 11:1, NIV).
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
"Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." - Hebrews 12:1-3 (NIV)
